Building Public-Private Partnerships to Enhance Disaster Resilience: A Listening Session

“On October 5, 2015, the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) Division for At-Risk Individuals, Behavioral Health and Community Resilience (ABC) and Grantmakers In Health (GIH) co-hosted a meeting Building Public-Private Partnerships to Enhance Disaster Resilience: A Listening Session. The listening session supported the National Health Security Strategy’s (NHSS) aim to improve community health resilience — a community’s ability to use its assets to strengthen public health and health care systems and to improve the community’s physical, behavioral, and social health in order to withstand, adapt to, and recover from adversity. The objective of the meeting was to promote connectivity and enhance relationship building among private foundations and key preparedness, response, recovery, and resilience program representatives. The meeting was attended by 50 individuals representing federal government, national partners, and private philanthropy. Attendees were provided an opportunity to educate each other about programs and resources available in the public and private sectors that help support emotionally strong, healthy, and resilient communities. Stakeholders within the private sector and philanthropy often help to support or foster community wellbeing and resilience through disaster preparedness, recovery initiatives, and community level health promotion efforts. Federal resources assist states and localities during major disasters and public health emergencies with preparedness, response, and recovery assets and resources. Closer collaboration between philanthropic entities and the federal government can enhance disaster resilience while building overall community health. Public-private partnerships hold the potential to bring new, innovative, and sustainable approaches to better address the community’s emotional health and wellbeing, including the access and functional needs of at-risk individuals.”
